Finding your tribe outside of the military

Erik Bartell left the military with no idea what he was going to do next. After serving for six years as an Army infantry officer, an injury forced him to make a decision. Erik had always wanted to lead, but with this injury, he would not be able to lead Soldiers directly in the field. He made the difficult decision to leave the Army and soon found inspiration from an unlikely source, fitness. Erik found his drive and was soon teaching other veterans the tools they needed to move forward. Learn about Erik’s journey with The FitOps Foundation and how supportive organizations can make all the difference for the veteran community.

Task & Purpose began with a mission to engage, inform, and stand up for our community. That means listening to the servicemembers, veterans, and others who make up our readership and tackling the issues they’re facing head-on. Make the Call was created in partnership with Verizon to address the isolation and mental health crisis that plagues servicemembers and veterans and promote the people and programs that are helping to build stronger connections and community.

Our task is to tell stories of real veterans overcoming incredible challenges and the amazing supportive communities that have helped them do it. Our purpose is to inspire the community to stay connected and to reach out to those in need.
